Is giving up an option to even consider?

Today feels impossible. My mind is heavy, my heart is broken, and I’m not in a good place mentally. Some days, I can find the strength to fight, but today, I don’t even want to try. It feels like there’s no point. I just want to give up.

I miss my daughters so much it’s unbearable. I wish they were home with me right now. Their presence would make this emptiness feel even a little lighter, but they’re not here. And with Christmas just a few days away, the pain feels even heavier. There’s no hope, nothing to celebrate, and nothing that feels meaningful without them here with me.

I’m sharing this because I know I’m not the only one who struggles, especially this time of year. If you’re reading this, please send some love my way, because I’m really struggling to hold it together. And if you’re feeling the same way, know you’re not alone.

The holidays are supposed to be about joy and togetherness, but for some of us, it’s just a reminder of what we’ve lost or what’s missing. I don’t know how I’m going to get through it, but for now, I’m just taking it moment by moment.
